I don't think it was anything purposeful, AT aren't going to do anything like that, but still incredibly lucky for VER yet again.

But remember, Lewis is very lucky.

 

[Dennisch]

why risk a disqualification by cheating?

Red Bull really needs to do that this year. They don't have the speed nor the driver to win races.

 

[Blitz24]

That was just a stupid call on Alpha Tauri, or did Ferrari do a quick uniform change?

 

[PeterJB]

If anyone gets penalised for that it will be AlphaTauri, not Red Bull or Verstappen.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

It looks like our podium should be set now.

 

[andrea]

Alpha Tauri needed to bust out the duct tape.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Redbull orchestrated that.

Might aswell bring back Masi

 

[MagpieRacer]

That would exceedingly dumb. They've already pretty much won the championship, why risk a disqualification by cheating?

Well the smart money would be on making sure he wins his home race over Hamilton, obviously.

Whatever happened to Tsunodas car, it's extraordinarily convenient for Verstappens race. Just like Perez spinning in qualifying which ensured Max stays on pole position. You may be a Max fanboy but it's going to raise eye brows whether you like it or not.

 

[pumaATTACK]

Completely ruined this race. Why send him back out…

Saying that something convenient is not immediately a conspiracy apparently makes me a fanboy then.
It would be very dumb to cheat in a championship you're winning by a country mile

 

[Jimlaad43]

Bottas may cause a proper Safety Car here. That's what we need to make this race interesting again.

 

[Blitz24]

What the hell. Why is race control doing such a poor job today?

Why is Sainz passing under the yellow?

 

[FoxMulder]

Bottas used to work for Mercedes, maybe he still does.

 

[Touring Mars]

Brave call from Red Bull... I thought it was crazy, but it might turn out to be a masterstroke...

Also kills any conspiracy theories about shenanigans earlier too...

 

[DG_Silva]

why risk a disqualification by cheating?

Red Bull? Cheat? Never!

Remember, it's not Red Bull cheating when it's AT causing the safety car, because they're completely separate teams.

Realistically though, I'd suggest for the marketability of Max winning another Dutch GP, it's the only thing I can think of, but every point wins. RB knew Merc has genuine performance, where Ferrari screw themselves over day after day.

 

[Dennisch]

Bottas helping Mercedes!! oMG CoNsPiRaCIES!!!!

 

[Samus]

It may look sus but really, if you were going to actually do something you'd just stop on the track in a guaranteed unsafe place and that's that. You don't stop on the track, have a conflab while he nearly gets out, return to the pits, spend 30 seconds putting belts back on, then go back out just to do that again.

You just do what BOT did.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Crazy that they lasted a full lap before calling the SC.

 

[andrea]

George fully raced round T1 to beat max lol

No but doing the poo emoji on literally any post criticising Verstappen or Red Bull makes you a fanboy. Red Bull can get away with it, it'll be AT that get penalised for releasing an unsafe car back on circuit.

Edit: Bottas balancing this back out.

 

[Dennisch]

We have a race though.


edit
Sainz is going to get penalties.

 

[Blitz24]

Bottas clearly trying to help out Ferrari... effort in vain.

 

[Jubby]

For anyone that thinks RBR cheated, I simply ask for proof. Prove it.

If speculation is enough, Ferrari did the same thing with Bottas.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Yeah, Max should have the pace to overtake them on the softs.

The emoji is only going on bizarre conspiracies, not on criticism.

 

[Blitz24]

Ferrari did it again!

 

[Touring Mars]

Jebus H. Crackers...

Sainz and Ferrari have been an absolute joke today. Shockingly bad.

Surely Ferrari being a joke is not shocking anymore?

 

[LumpiestFish]

Would’ve much preferred Russell be a buffer to Max for Lewis.
